Today on the Made for Mothers podcast, Mariah sits down with the powerhouse Cris Gordon, PR strategist, founder of CB Communications, certified lactation counselor, and children’s book author. Cris shares her inspiring journey of building not one but two purpose-driven businesses while raising four children, and how motherhood expanded her capacity rather than limited it.

They dive into:

• How to cultivate a personal brand that evolves with you
• Why visibility is key to your growth and how to start building it now
• Rethinking "mom guilt" (and why sadness and guilt aren't the same)
• How to plant seeds today that bloom into opportunities tomorrow
• Creating a mission-driven "umbrella" that connects all of your passions

This is an honest, expansive conversation about motherhood, ambition, storytelling, and the power of showing up as your full self whether you're nine months pregnant at a networking event or pitching your next big idea.

If you’re ready to stop waiting for permission and start seeing yourself as the leader and brand you are, you’ll love this episode.
